<p>
Dan Straily goes for the Marlins in the final game of this interleague series and in his last start he gave up three earned runs in five innings in a 4-0 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Marlins had won his previous three starts where he went 17 innings and gave up four earned runs. This will be Straily’s first career start against the Rays and on the season he is limiting opponents to a .183 batting average and he has29 strikeouts in 26 innings of work. This is his first interleague start of the season and last season and overall his 6th start for Miami, as he was with the Cincinnati Reds last season.

Matt Andriese gets the call for the Rays tonight and he went seven innings and gave up three earned runs in his last outing, which was a 4-1 Rays loss. Tampa Bay has lost his last two starts and three of his last four and in that span he has gone 24 innings and given up eight earned runs. Andriese faced Miami once last season giving up three earned runs in six innings in taking a no decision. While the Rays are only 2-5 in Andriese’s last seven starts overall they have won nine of their last 12 games against a team with a losing record with him on the hill.

Miami Marlins vs. Tampa Bay Rays Prediction

The Marlins had lost the first two games of this series before winning yesterday. They have lost six of their last eight games and are 5.5 games back of the Washington Nationals in the NL East. The Rays fell to under .500 with their loss to the Marlins yesterday and they are 4.5 games back of the New York Yankees in the AL East. Andriese has given up three earned runs in each of his last two starts where he was only given five runs of support. He has pitched pretty well in his last two home starts and he will have a good outing in this game facing a Miami lineup that had only totaled three runs before scoring 10 in Game 3 of this series. The Rays won the first two games of this series with solid pitching and Andriese will make that happen again, as he will lead Tampa Bay to a win and they will take the series.
